Produktbeschreibung

Due to the financialization of housing in today's market, housing risks are increasingly becoming financial risks. Financialization refers to the increasing dominance of financial actors, markets, practices, measurements and narratives.

This book asserts the centrality of housing to the contemporary capitalist political economy and places housing at the centre of the financialization debate.

Rezensionen

"The book is largely successful in foregrounding the inviolable links between housing and financialized capitalism and will serve as a good introduction to an inter- or multidisciplinary and non-expert audience" - Bjarke Skærlund Risager, Department of Philosophy and History of Ideas, Aarhus University
